“Many of us have a sense that all we once took for granted is now up for grabs. We are living through a crisis of knowledge, and the result can be a feeling of suffocating uncertainty. Untrustworthy opens a window and lets in a breath of fresh air—and hope. Bonnie Kristian offers a way out of pointless debates and fearmongering conspiracies. This book is never condescending and always sympathetic; it is never partisan and always incisive.”—Jeffrey Bilbro, author of Reading the Times

“We are living in the midst of a truth crisis. Every single day information swamps our social media: popping up on our alerts or forwarded from friends. Not only do we not know what to believe but we also don’t know how to believe. This is why this book is so vitally important. Bonnie Kristian is a first-rate journalist who is uniquely able to sift through the layers of today’s truth crisis and help guide faithful Christians to know how to pursue knowledge and understand the times in ways that are in obedience to the lordship of Christ. She skillfully gets at the motivations that have caused a sense of distrust and alienation that drives us to extremes. This is a book the American church desperately needs and that pastors have been asking for. I’d urge you to give it a careful read and pass it on anyone in your sphere of influence.”—Daniel Darling, director of The Land Center for Cultural Engagement, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of A Way with Words

“‘Fake news,’ conspiracy theories, misleading claims, lies peddled as facts, facts dismissed as lies—we’re all familiar with the distressing evidence of our knowledge crisis. In Untrustworthy, Bonnie Kristian brings rare insight, charity, and wisdom to this pressing problem, clearly showing how we got here and, more importantly, suggesting concrete ways of working through the impasses tearing our churches, and our polity, apart.”—Damon Linker, author of The Theocons and The Religious Test
